What breed is this bantam?

We know its a hatchery bantam. Clean legged, yellow legged, 4 toes, single combed, and red. That narrows it down a lot. I'm not saying its impossible that it could be a Cochin that didn't get leg feathers for some reason. Nor am I 100% positive that its a RIR. But RIR is most likely is what I'm saying. Also some more time to develop may prove me wrong.
 
RIR bantam chicks look just like that. A RIR is much more likely than a Cochin with clean legs. And its possible for any breed to be frizzled. I've even had frizzles pop at random in me Swedish Flower Hens even.
Isn't frizzled a dominant trait?
 
Not completely. If you breed frizzle to smooth you'll get 1/2 and 1/2 roughly. Feathered legs is a dominant trait though. If at least one parent has feathered legs then all the offspring will have feathered legs of some degree.
Yes, I know this.
 
Could the first one be a Japanese Bantam? They also fit the description, clean yellow legs, single comb, buff and they come in frizzled.
